From the gamsat uk website:

St George’s, University of London
The University of Nottingham at Derby
The University of Wales Swansea
Peninsula Dental School
Keele University

Or to the 5-year degree at
The Peninsula Medical School

I'm wondering that too. From their website they just say that "An applicant’s degree results, GAMSAT score and UCAS application are all taken into consideration and complied into a scoring system for interview selection." I have no idea what the weighting is between these three aspects, so in that regard GAMSAT remains quite meaningless in terms of my Swansea application.

However, I am reasonably sure that I'll get an interview at St. George's, my other GAMSAT choice. But in an endeavour to avoid the cycle of hubris and ate I'm not going to count my interview invites until they've arrived and been verified by 3 neutral observers.

As it turns out it doesn't appear that Swansea are now going to be using GAMSAT at all in selection for interview and will also now be accepting GAMSAT Ireland results (just got an e-mail).

Don't swansea always accept GAMSAT Ire? I mean they a large number of Irish students who get in every year and Im pretty sure most of them sit it then unless they take it from a previous cycle? ah well its not concerning me but just nosey i guess
